Ghazal 51

jidhar jate hain sab jaana udhar achchha nahin lagta

bahana DhunDte rahte hain koi rone ka

yaad use bhi ek adhura afsana to hoga

kabhi kabhi main ye sochta hun ki mujhko teri talash kyun hai

jina mushkil hai ki aasan zara dekh to lo

Nazm 32

ye khel kya hai

mere muKhaalif ne chaal chal di hai

waqt

ye waqt kya hai

aansu

kisi ka gham sun ke

banjara

main banjara

dushwari

main bhul jaun tumhein

Sher 44

jidhar jaate haiñ sab jaanā udhar achchhā nahīñ lagtā

mujhe pāmāl rastoñ kā safar achchhā nahīñ lagtā

jidhar jate hain sab jaana udhar achchha nahin lagta

mujhe pamal raston ka safar achchha nahin lagta

in charāġhoñ meñ tel hī kam thā

kyuuñ gila phir hameñ havā se rahe

in charaghon mein tel hi kam tha

kyun gila phir hamein hawa se rahe

zarā mausam to badlā hai magar peḌoñ kī shāḳhoñ par na.e pattoñ ke aane meñ abhī kuchh din lageñge

bahut se zard chehroñ par ġhubār-e-ġham hai kam be-shak par un ko muskurāne meñ abhī kuchh din lageñge

zara mausam to badla hai magar peDon ki shaKHon par nae patton ke aane mein abhi kuchh din lagenge

bahut se zard chehron par ghubar-e-gham hai kam be-shak par un ko muskurane mein abhi kuchh din lagenge

Qita 4

lakh hon hum mein pyar ki baaten

pas aa ke bhi fasle kyun hain

katthai aankhon wali ek laDki

hum bhi kafi tez the pahle
